    Walking is only not effective because others with lower ethics will take the money, right?

    Yes. Or rather not do anything to not get themselves fired, but that’s equivalent.

    Google won’t even notice 800 people disappearing. Large corporations have enough redundancies.

    Given historical precedents, it seems that people are okay with fascism for money. In fact fascism in the past and today has offered people prosperity by getting rid of some vulnerable group that’s “getting too much resources” and getting the resources back. Of course it’s never the oligarchs. That’s how it tends to get consent to take power. This is occurring to varying degrees in more than a few countries today.

    It’s why relying on people’s moral beliefs to fight fascism isn’t super reliable, to say it mildly. Instead we gotta propose an alternative that offers prosperity without getting rid of vulnerable groups. Ergo unionize and take more money from Google as well as make other demands (as a short term alternative.)
